Now in their twenty-first year, the Beesley Lecture are named in memory of Professor Michael Beesley, who founded the series in 1991 and organised them until his death in 1999. Professor Beesley was a leading architect of the British system of utility regulation and aa managing trustee of the Institute of Economic Affairs. The lectures are a professional and social highlight for representatives from across the regulatory spectrum and continue to attract key figures from all business sectors.

Organised by the Institute of Economic Affairs in association with the RPI and sponsored by PwC, the Beesley lectures analyse regulated industries. This year's lectures will be held each Thursday from 22 September to 10 November at the Institute of Directors in Pall Mall, London. Evenings begin at 6.30pm with refreshments. The lecture begins at 7pm and is followed by a 20 minute response and then an extended discussion with the audience. The proceedings finish at 8.45pm with refreshments.
